    I'd be OK with an Apple social net IF it wasn't censored by Apples liberal Values.

    If they can stay neutral, then it would be good.

    If its going to be some communist cult thing where anything they dont agree with is "fake news" etc. or censored, then it would be a disaster.
    Censoring has nothing to do with the platform provider. You are censoring or creating your own fake news based on your friends and news sources you choose to follow. That's how social networks work right now.

    Complete nonsense. 15 months ago even fewer people cared about 4k than they do today. The mass market consumer is still happy w/ 1080p (anecdotally, I'm an enterprise developer and I have no plans to replace my 1080p plasma any time soon, especially with a crummier LCD tv). iTunes doesn't even offer any 4k content and nobody is crying about it, they certainly weren't 15 months ago.

    Will the new ATV offer it? Very likely. But that doesn't mean Apple needed to be engaged in the spec wars at its earliest opportunity. Ain't how Apple rolls, bubba. You should know that, but not knowing it is why you're a poor investor.
    No 4k content?  How about those friken 4k videos you've been filming on you iPhone 6s and iPhone 7 the past 2 years? Or even damn photos that have a higher resolution than 1080p?
    Who is watching 4K home videos on Apple TV? You might be but 90% of Apple TV users don't care because they don't even have 4K TVs.

    Friken finally.

    I got a 4k tv last year and are dying to run 4k media on it.

    Engineering is about balance.  At the time 4G didn't make sense from Apples perspective for variety reasons.  I bought one and found  it perfectly acceptable. 
    It would literally cost pennies for Apple to include 4k on the ATV4.

    The only logical reason why they didn't include it was to upsell when the ATV5 comes out. 

    As an Apple shareholder and fan, its pretty shameful
    It would cost a few bucks but the catalog and bandwidth is what costs a lot more. They have to uprez the largest legal movie and TV catalog available on the Internet. Since no one wants to see some titles only in 1080p and some in 4K, Apple has to wait for the studios both for technical reasons and for contractual reasons. It's not trivial and not cheap when you try to release all titles in 4K to 100 countries in one day. And on top of that there's all the developers that need to uprezz assets too.

    Unacceptable to the 10% of people like you that bought into 4K. Is it really unacceptable to the other 90% that don't know or care about 4K? Ask Amazon Fire and Roku customers who bought into 4K too. Hey can count the 4K content yhey watch on one hand. Apple has a huge catalog and customer base to convert to 4K. That being said, I would expect 4K Apple TV support this year. The only question is does Apple release a lower price 1080p next to the 4K model?

    It's comical they help force the progressive agenda on the country and promote letting transgenders in the bathroom with little girls, but don't want the progressive agenda forced on themselves.
    If a woman transitions into a man, do you want him sharing a bathroom with 'little girls'?

    Why not? Do you have a problem controlling yourself around little girls? I don't and I don't know anyone who does except for sexual deviants. Are you trying generalize a class of people all as sexual deviants? See how easy it is to generalize and strip away rights of humans based upon baseless fears?
